Numerical simulation of the influence of welding direction on residual stress after double welding of Q345 stacked-plates

Based on the welding numerical simulation software Visual-environment, this paper calculates and analyzes the residual stress field for the double pass welding of Q345 stacked plates. The paper mainly studies the influence of different welding directions on the residual stress after welding. The results show that different welding methods have little effect on the lateral residual stress, while the longitudinal residual stress and the initial and end of the weld have a greater influence, while the post-weld residual stress distribution of the anisotropic two-pass weld is more uniform.
